restore 11.00

[Steve Bear_1]

I need to build a test server matching the production env.

Production server has 11.00 with oracle running on it.

I've intalled the basic OS on the test server and also done the LVM and network configuration.

now i m going to restore the tape on the test server by using

nohup frecover -x -f /dev/rmt/1m -i / -e /dev -e /etc/lvmtab -e /etc/ioconfig \
-e /etc/rc.config.d/netconf -e /etc/fstab &


I just wanted to confirm few things with you people.
do i need to exclude any thing else in frecover ?
what about kernel ? do i need to rebuild it manually after successfull restore?
Any tuning parameters for frecover to speed up restore process?

Any other suggestions ?

Many Thanks,

The fastest restore would be to take the ignite image of the production server and restore the image on the test machine.

Are the two machines with same configuration.Then why to you copy some device files.I feel that would not be the way.

The best way to make the test server working fine would be to restore the ignite image.

#make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -d "make tape 200403" -a /dev/rmt/0mn

not 100% identical.. PV's are different. that's why i m excluding /dev in frecover.

no i'm not using make_tape_Recover option.

can any one tell me whether my above (first post) method of restore would be successfull ? is there any thing i need to take care of ?

Thanks
